A Place To Wait


Southern Florida, with its warm winters, no State Income Tax,
And innumerable discounts for seniors,
Has been a magnet 
For retirees from the northeast.

They come here to wait,
To write emails to friends
Who are yet to concede all their remaining years
To golf and MahJong.

Some of their friends who had lured
Them south are gone,
While others seem to have constricted
Their lives to health concerns.

If their plan is to wait to die,
It makes sense to find a comfortable chair.
